    any suggestions on what to do? Jerks actually gave me their email!

    All of these businesses are registered under a business name, I think it's time to call my lawyer. Ediot gave a email address on my sites too, I think I should try and trace their IP address

    Well this one xboxliveclans.com has not only been hacked, but its been well and truly fooked over.

    I visited it - Firefox crashed, as did Zone Alarm...

    Am not game to visit the others.

    Good luck with getting it sorted.

    That's awful, I presume you've tried contacting your host?

    Good luck sorting the issue.

    Yep, it's bluehost and there's no support today, prolly not any tomorrow either. What a Merry Christmas it has been for me. I'm going to be loosing a lot of money over the next few days... :(

    Right now I don't even want to get the sites back up, I just would like to find the hackers IP address and then contact my lawyer.

    What loser hacks a server on Christmas Eve. I'm at work too, I'm totally getting screwed right now. My Christmas is totally ruined!!!! Hope everyone else still has a good one though. This is such a bummer

    That sucks man. How do people hack into all your sites? Did they figure out your password or something?

    Anyway, hopefully you can track them down.

    And what does being registered under a business name have to do with this?

    yes i hope you do end up getting that guy and getting your sites back up.
    also they ping your ip and then uses a brute force attack or something and then i dunno how they do it but they get all your passwords and logins so you have to secure your site from programs gaining access
